the most important part a tutor like me can do is encouraging students to believe in their abilities and providing positive reinforcement as they progress. Also, the gist of my 2 years of tutoring would be offering tailored teaching experience where adapting teaching methods to suit the student’s learning styles and needs and working on…

I believe the single most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to provide patient and constant support for them outside of their classroom, and try to clear all their doubts effectively. Moreover, a tutor should guide their students in a manner in which they can focus on key areas of improvement and then work on realistic goals, which…

I would say that the tutor developing a relationship of trust with the student is one of the most important things. Whilst it\'s all good and well for the tutor to deliver the class well, if the student does not trust the tutor to actually better them in their studies, no progress will be made. I think that learning goes hand in hand with…

I believe a tutor can make all the difference to a student struggling with their studies. School teaching can often be mechanical and impersonal; an environment where some students find it difficult to learn. I know first hand that teaching in smaller groups or one-on-one works is much more effective at learning hard to grasp concepts. The impact…

I think the most important things a tutor can do is to build the student's confidence. Sometimes students may feel afraid to make mistakes even though in fact they know more than they think. A tutor should also keep encouraging the students to keep going even when it's tough. I think one of my strengths is being patient. I don't mind explaining…

Improved results! The tutor is always on time, very helpful and patient with my daughter and really has built her confidence and skills in maths. Her grades have improved as a direct result of tutoring
Maria, Botany

Inside BotanyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Andre worked on algebra revision and solved practice problems using the quadratic formula, then applied the interest formula (IPRT) to worded questions.

For Year 9, Chloe tackled Pythagoras' theorem and trigonometry concepts, including sine and cosine relationships while completing her maths assignment.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Lily focused on revising equations with one unknown and practised geometry involving triangles in preparation for her upcoming school exam.

Recent Challenges

A Year 7 student repeatedly hesitated with worded maths problems, often "getting nervous and abandoning her first strategy if it took too long." This avoidance led to incomplete solutions, especially in multi-step geometry or pie chart tasks.

In senior English, a Year 11 student did not bring drafts for discursive essays, making it impossible to review and edit structure or elevate language mid-lesson; as one tutor noted, "access to writing before the lesson is essential."

In Year 9 algebra revision, another student preferred working in cramped spaces rather than spreading out their calculations—errors became harder to spot and correct on crowded pages.

Recent Achievements

One Botany tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to freeze up on unfamiliar geometry questions now starts each problem by talking aloud and underlining only the key information, which has helped her tackle even multi-step problems without reminders.

In a recent high school English session, another student took the initiative to edit her discursive essay before the lesson, so she could focus solely on refining her reflection during tutoring—something she hadn't done independently before.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who struggled with division now solves these problems more easily after adopting a new method and explaining his steps out loud.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thanks Gene, so far, Jamie's response has been very good.  He has had 2 lessons to date, as last week was cancelled at our request (he was away on camp). Jamie has responded very well to Eshan, who's approach is unassuming, gentle, but persuasive and constructive.  Jamie actually looks forward to spending time with Eshan to teach him his Maths strategies. We look forward to seeing Eshan again next week. Thanks also for the newsletter.  I have to say that I think your supportive written material is very useful!

All is great with Nathan. He's a lovely man and April has her block testing for maths tomorrow and she's confident- a good sign. April will now have a couple of weeks break due to holidays but Nathan will certainly be coming back. April quietly winges  about the homework Nathan sets for her but we don't interfere and are glad that Nathan makes sure its completed as April's attitude to maths was pretty bad.

Anne is loving tutoring and James is doing an amazing job so yes we are very happy and wish to continue!

Local Spots for Tutoring

If you'd prefer not to have lessons at home, tutoring can also take place at a local library—such as Mascot Library (incl. the George Hanna Memorial Museum)—or at your child's school (with permission), like Botany Public School.
